  • @Nighthawkinlight
    @Nighthawkinlight Před 2 lety +1173

    I suspect you are not getting a crisp image because of doubling up the lens. Your large lens seems to have too long of a focal length for the tube length, hence the leds being in focus rather than the image. Get that same size lens with half the focal length and you won't need the two part lens messiness. An internal aperture can increase sharpness further if needed.
    It also doesn't help that your light source is so far from a point. Put it further back and it will work better. I would recommend a commercial led stadium light rather than diy. You can get a 250k lumen stadium light for around $1,200 which is what I would use if I made another one myself.

    • @theHacksmith

    I feel that the final results would be much better if the original OG Batman logo was used as its bigger which would have a higher contrast due to surface area and less light bleed. I think you should try that one also for comparison.
